Back to the Future

Now that I'm back home, I have to decide what to work on.

We got yet another lesson in Mermaid Treasures. I'm still way behind! But the new lesson tells how to put together the fish. I can't imagine how this can turn out well. Really, I wonder if I can do it. But I know Amy Mitten's instructions are fabulous. One of the things that drew me to this project was the fish. So I jump ahead and try out the fish finishing instructions.

The fish is a needle case and the needles fit into his mouth.

The instructions are so easy taken step by step. I sew the fins on and lace the sides together. Amy Mitten is a genius when it comes to designing. Inside the fish is a straw with buttonhole stitch in one end. I love how this turned out.

I can't believe I did it! Wow, this is too cool.

There are pins to stick into his fins but I haven't done that yet.
Maybe I can sew the shell case together next?
